BCBG, Richard Chai, Erin Wasson, and More

Day one, and it's going to be busy. So excited to see all the new collections; slightly worried about all the slush that's slowing me down.
9 A.M. Mackage: first full women's ready-to-wear collections.
10 A.M. First big show in "the tent"—BCBG—and the whole team is there in full force.
Lots of neutrals with splashes of color and pleated chiffon layering.
10:30 A.M. Mad dash from the tents over to Organic on 36th Street and Ninth Avenue (much longer walk than anticipated). Really cute, and the pieces are what you want to wear every day.
11 A.M. Catch a ride from Alexa back to the tents to Richard Chai's Second Love collection. Grunge is back, and I love it!
12 P.M. Head over to Vena Cava with Joann. Earplugs on the seats make everyone a bit nervous, but we are pleasantly surprised by the live performance by the Like!
12:30 P.M. Go to Lutz and Patmos, which has some new, fabulous chunky knits that I want to put on right here and now.
12:45 P.M. Run over to the Soho House for the fall presentation: It is a bit of a throwback to the 1800s, with cute bits of velvet intertwined.
1 P.M. Daniel Vosovic's presentation is very clean and fresh.
2 P.M. Toni Maticevski has lots of lighting equipment set up as props that the models have to maneuver around.
3 to 3:30 P.M. Head to Milk for LNA and L.A.M.B.—LNA's washed leather jackets are so great!
4 P.M. Run down to St. Marks for Bess—it's in a cool little theater with heavy velvet drapes.
5 P.M. Dash over to Rachel Comey, where there's a live band in the middle of an open loft.
6 P.M. Chadwick Bell—it's a great departure for them. I meet up with Alexa.
6:30 P.M. Karolina Zmarlak at the alley behind the Bowery; there are old-fashioned swim caps with jeweled brooches.
7 P.M. Meet up with Joann again for Chado Ralph Rucci—the show is in their space, with all mirrored walls.
8 P.M. Go to Erin Wasson. See more of the team there, as well as lots of celebs—Jared Leto and Ke$ha are among them.
9 P.M. Finished for the day...going home to rest for tomorrow.
